Determination of Dumping Margin

OPERATING PRACTICE
14.21. In case there are three or more responses from any of the subject country it
may be advisable to resort to sampling.

14.22. In an event where the Authority resorts to sampling, it would have to
determine:
(i) Individual dumping margins for the sampled producer exporter;

(ii) One common margin for non-sampled co-operative producer exporter; and

(iii) Residual margin for the non-cooperative exporters as well as the non-
responding producer exporter:
14.23. Individual dumping margin shall be calculated for each of selected sampled
exporters.

14.24. A weighted average dumping margin is calculated from the sampled
exporters which is extended to all non-sampled exporters in terms of Rule 18(2) of
the AD Rules. These are the producer exporters, who participated in the sampling
exercise and offered cooperation but were not picked up as a part of the sample.

14.25. The dumping margin for all other non-responding exporters including non-
cooperative exporters is calculated by comparing the normal value, which is the
highest of the sampled exporters, with the NEP which is the lowest of the sampled
exporters.
